God hath work to do in this world and to desert it because of its difficulties and entanglements, is to cast off His authority. It is not enough that we be just, that we be righteous, and walk with God in holiness but we must also serve our generation, as David did before he fell asleep. God hath a work to do and not to help Him is to oppose Him.
